Vijaya Gadde, who received a $12.5 million severance package when she was fired as policy director in October by new Twitter CEO Elon Musk, testified before the House Oversight Committee that The Post’s reporting was censored in large part because photos from Hunter’s laptop “looked like they may have been obtained through hacking.”
Gadde also admitted that Hunter Biden never claimed to the company that the laptop was hacked — as opposed to legally provided to The Post.
The committee’s Republican majority said it planned to press hard for evidence of “collusion” between the FBI and Twitter to censor The Post.
Twitter attorney James Baker insisted that there was no “unlawful collusion” between the social network and US officials to censor The Post.
Baker, who was FBI general counsel before joining Twitter in June 2020, told the panel “I was not aware of and certainly did not engage in any conspiracy or other effort to do anything unethical, improper or unlawful while I was at Twitter.”
The FBI paid Twitter $3.5 million from October 2019 to February 2021 to process its moderation requests, according to a document released by Musk.

“Yes, former AG Bill “Bondo” Barr is a content partner with Twitter File narrative engineer Bari Weiss. Gee, I wonder how that happens?”
Ex-Twitter and FBI admit to rigging and stealing the election.

What’s with Jaimie Raskin wearing a head scarf to a Congressional hearing? Don’t they have a dress code they’re supposed to follow?
He has cancer of some sort is the story.
I believe Raskin is going through chemo treatments right now thus the bandana on his head!!
There was collusion and there was election interference, a crime.
Thanks for the info
“And then what?”
The Republicans plan to hold endless hearings and then give a criminal referral to the Attorney General who will laugh in their faces while pawing through the FBI files on the Republican Congress-critters.
If the AG wants to have some fun he might leak a few tidbits....
This is like a Mafia card game—the Republicans are the marks.
Oooos. My bad. Orange man lost, all is good.
Just like I thought 😏
It must be nice to get 12.5 million dollars to be fired.
Rick Santorum just said that ...it wasn’t CENCORING because their was no collusion with the government...
Either he did not read this morning’s Post or the FBI isn’t part of the government.
“Mistakes were made”
The Hillary defense.
Another great moment from the hearings today regarding Twitter banning into on Covid bioweapon jabs:
Where’d You Go to Medical School?’: GOP Rep Rips Ex-Twitter Official for Censoring Stanford Doc’s Covid Opinions
Gadde, former general counsel and head of legal, policy, and trust at Twitter, admitted under questioning that no one at the company had the medical standing to assess claims about Covid-mitigation strategies and vaccines so they instead deferred to CDC guidance and censored information that contradicted the agency’s guidance.
“You’re not a doctor, right, Ms. Gadde?” Mace asked.
“No, I’m not,” Gadde responded.
“What makes you think you or anyone else at Twitter have the medical expertise to censor actual, accurate, CDC data?”
“I’m not familiar with these particular situations,” Gadde said before Mace cut her off: “I’m sure you’re not.”
During the tense exchange, Mace accused Gadde and Twitter executives of shutting down Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford medical professor, who was critical of Covid-19 lockdowns.
“You guys censored Harvard-educated doctors, Stanford-educated doctors, doctors that are educated in the best places in the world, and you silenced those voices,” Mace said, referencing Bhattacharya.In early December, Bari Weiss released the second installment of “The Twitter Files,” which revealed that the social-media giant had created “secret blacklists” suppressing the presence of users deemed problematic.
think they’ll also admit that it was a “mistake” to censor everything about the covid vax EXCEPT that it was “safe and effective”?
Pregnant denials, lies, whatever else.
AT THIS POINT WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!
